Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.213.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Based upon the no-shipment certifications received by Commerce, and 
our review of the CBP data, we preliminary find that six companies had 
no shipments during the POR. Commerce requested that CBP confirm 
whether any shipments of subject merchandise entered the United States 
during the POR with respect to the six companies that submitted no-
shipment claims, and CBP responded that it has no record of any subject 
entries for these six inquiries.\8\ For additional information 
regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 
Consistent with our assessment in non-market economy administrative 
reviews,\9\ Commerce is not rescinding this review for these six 
companies.\10\ Commerce intends to complete this review and issue 
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memoranda, ``No Shipment Inquiry for Suqian Hopeway 
International Trade Co., Ltd. During the Period 01/01/2021 through

Luli Trading Co., Ltd. During the Period 01/01/2021 through 12/31/

Proceedings); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section, infra.
    \10\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    Because the other 14 companies under review did not submit an SRA 
or SRC, Commerce preliminarily determines that these companies have not 
demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates.\11\ For additional 
information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to this administrative review.\12\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
China-wide entity.\13\ Because no party requested a review of the 
China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity is not under 
review and the China-wide entity's rate (i.e., 183.36 percent) is not 
subject to change.\14\ For additional information, see the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce shall 
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.\18\ We have not calculated any 
assessment rates in this administrative review. Based on record 
evidence, we have preliminarily determined that six companies had no 
shipments of subject merchandise and, therefore, pursuant to Commerce's 
assessment practice, any suspended entries that entered under their 
case numbers, where available, will be liquidated at the China-wide 
entity rate.\19\ For all remaining companies subject to this review, 
which are part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate their entries at the current rate for the China-wide entity 
(i.e., 183.36 percent). Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of this review in the Federal 
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of 
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to 
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request 
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of 
publication).

Proceedings.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the six 
companies that had no shipments during the POR will remain unchanged 
from the rates assigned to them in the most recently completed segment 
for each company; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese 
and non-Chinese exporters that have separate rates, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the 
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese 
exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate,\20\ the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36 percent); and (4) for all non-
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their 
own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Final Results of Review

    Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final 
results of this administrative review, which will include the results 
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of 
publication of these preliminary results of review, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

    Dated: October 3, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
